Can Empirical Formulae be used to determine pile capacity on field ?

Use of empirical formulae such as Hiley’s or ENR or any modified formulae has been discarded worldwide due to various limitations and many assumptions involved. Such formulae were in use in 1950s before advent of computers and when not much information or Wave Equation type procedures were available. Using Hiley’s or ENR formulae can lead to dangerous situations and should be strictly avoided.
